Milk Tests.

The only system yet suggested which
bids fair to be of practicable application
in creameries, for the frequent or even
daily testing of milk brought in by
many producers, and for the daily
testing of the milk of each COW of
herd, if this be desired, is that by
means of an oil-test churn. This ap-
paratus consists of many glass tubes
Of the same size, into each of which
an equal quantity of milk is placed,
filling the tubes half to two-thirds full.
The tubes are set upright for the
cream to rise; then they stand at
temperature of sixty five degrees or
over, until incipient souring comes on
when the cream is supposed to be ripe
or fit for churning. Then all the tubes
or as we may now call them, little
churns, are laid upon their sides or
fastened in frames, and violently shak.
en- in a machine made for the purpose,
until it is evident that all the cream
has been churned into butter. This
done, the frames are removed, and, be-
ing placed in water heated to about
l4O degrees, the butter melts to lin
pid oil, which. upon cooling-the tubes
standing perfectly upright-may be
easily measured, and will show with
considerable accuracy the relative
amount of butter in the different sam
pies. 1t is clear that by this process
the milk of one day can be reported
upon one or two days thereafter, and
as only small quantity of milk is re-
quired, no loss can be reckoned from
this cause. Only double or triple
set of tubes is needed to test the milk
of every producer every day. With
skill, attained by practice, even with
the crude apparatus which has been
used, quite satisfactory results have
been secured. The oil-test churn, now
in its infancy, promises to be an ex-
ceedingly valuable aid to breeders and
cow-keepers, as we'll as to those who

Watering Horses.

The rational practice is to let
horses have the opportunity Of
drinking sufficiently often to pre-.
vent their being very thirsty, and
hence drinking TO excess. In hot
weather, and during active exertion,
horses enjoy, and are the better for
draught of water at intervals of
three or four hours. On their re.
turn from work they should have
the opportunity of drinking, and un.
less abstinence has been protra cted,
or the animal much fatlgued or over
heated, or constitutionally washy
and delicate, there is no need to re.
scrict them. Cold water does not
harm except in very cold, winterly
weather, when a proportion of hot
water should be run into the horse
troughs, or the water in buckets,
placed for several hours in the stable.
Refreshed by his drink, the horse
will feed better than if he proceeds
to his meal thirsty and languid.

CAPITOL REMOVAL:

Bloomington Henry Co Boomer.
Our readers know there has been a
proposition made by the citizens of
Sedalia to the Legislature TO submit
to the voters of the State whether or
not the Capitol shall be removed to
Sedalia. The people of Sedalia offer to
pay all expenses Of submitting the
question, aud also agree to give forty
acres of land and $4,000, 10000 for
the erection Of the Capitol buildings.
Heretofore we have not expressed an
opinion regarding the removal, but
have been in favor of the scheme
from the time it was first talked of
several years ago.
Sedalia is centrally located in the
State is one of our reason for wanting
the removal. Sedalia has good
railroad facilities is another reason
why she should have the Capitol.
Sedelia is healthy located is an item
in favor of Sedalia. The $500, 100000
and the forty acres of land and the
payment ofsubmiting the question to
vote of the people is an argument
in favor of our Legislature passing
the bill to submit the question.

Concord coach and the four-footed,
long horned engine of the primitive
freight train. and swept from their
surroundings the cobwebs OF tradition,
have put on the airs and dress which
belong to the age in which they live,
Jefferson City sleeps on, undisturbed
by the rattle and roar of progress all
around her, and only wakes up long
enough every two years to ask for an
appropriation.
Sedalia is progressive city, cen
trally and beautifully located and its
people are full of the spirit which has
made America the greatest nation ON
earth.
Although young in years, it has a
population of twenty thousand, while
Jefferson City with half century of
years behind it, is struggling along
with probably One-fJurth as many.
We think it is but right To ask that
no more appropriations be voted to
the Capital at Jefferson City. until
the people of the state have had an
opportunity to vote upon the question
of its removal. They want to vote
upon it, and they have the unques-
toned right. Inasmuch as Sedalia
offers to pay the expense of the cleo
ton, the people risk nothing, and
their representatives will best serve
their interests by giving them the op-
portunity they ask. Should the
resolution be defeated at the polls, the
question will be settled for all time,
which is an additional reason for its
submission"

service TO the individual Is equally so
to the corporation and to the public,
and the general welfare paramount
to the individual gain. The United
States postal service is the best ex-
ample that the nation has. The time
has come when the same system will
prove most profitable to the railroad
and telegraph systems, and the
corporation which shall first inaug-
crate the plan will find itself the
greatest gamer. 1t is a sadly mis-
taken principle and theory which is
urging railroads and other corpora
lions to place themselves in antagonism
and opposition to the will of the
people and legislation. The inter
state commerce bill will prove quite
as profitable to the railroads as to the
public, if both sides will lend their
hearty cooperation and aid, and in a
spirit of harmony and good will seek
only to perfect it to conserve the best
interests of all. 1t is a law higher
than mans, that requires all sharing
in the profits of prosperity shall bear
equally the burthens of success.
That this fact is fully recognized by
corporations is proven by the fact that
more railroads have been projected
and more corporations organized
since the passage Of the bill than in
any period of like length previ-
Gus thereto. That corporations
now existing are inclined to act I'M
fairly by ignoring the fact is proven
by their senseless threats and efforts
to bulldoze. Railroads may threaten
to take away passes, etc, but the
public knows that railroads have
never issued passes without the full
expectation of receiving value in full,
and that the same incentive will con-
tinue the system. Senseless preju-
dice against corporations is no more
senseless than the unjust greed which
is exhibited by corporations TO take
advantage of their powers. Both
are ruinous, and the sooner they
cease, the better for all concerned.
The community can no longer exist
without railroads, but it is equally
true railroads cannot exist without
the community. Let us have peace
and fair dealing, and prosperity and
good will will reign to shower bless
ings on all.

The Militia Bill.

The BAZoo as a matter Of state
pride, an act of common justice, a
measure of prudential foresight, and a
means of practical economy, urges
upon the legislature the passage of a
decent militia bill. Among the law
abiding people there is no opposition
but large endorsement of il.
The St. Louis Chronicle says
"The military bill is to be reconsid-
cred. 1t is to be hoped that some
brain power, be it ever so little, viii
be brought to bear upon it. We are
peaceful and law abiding people,
and we shall be none the less peaceful
nor law-abiding if we know that the
means of enforcing law are within easy
call of our chief executive. The
complaint of our country Legislators
that our military heroes charge with
more vehemence upon melon patcEe:
and apple orchards than upon the
armed foe, is perhaps justified. But
they may be consoled with the refiec
ton that even these charges furnish
business for the ambulance corps
The Brownsville Herald says
eve are sorry the military bill die
not reach engrossment. We are IL
favor of the bill, first, last and all the
time. Our representatives can d.
the state great good by supporting tn
reconsideration"
The PostDispatch says: eff W,

could place on our coasts how could
we protect these Notifications withou
an available militia to man them

1t Is certainly fair that the people
should be permitted to speak upon any
question that affects their veal or VICE.
There is concurrent resolution before
the Missouri legislature asking that an
amendment be submitted to the quail
fed voters of the state, looking to the
removal of the state capital from JEFF
ferson City to Sedalia.
As Major Cole, the thoroughbred
evangelist, would say, praise We the
Lord" the Republican says, "Praise
We the Thirty-fourth general assem-
bly,, if they will submit such a ques-
ton, for the people of Missouri are
weary of going to Jefferson City as the

the people new deal. Do give us a
place for a seat of government COM
mensurate with the great state of
Missouri-greater than the empire
state, of mere magnitude, of more in
fiuence than any ether western state,
and nothing but an old crows nest
for a capital.
The members from Greene, to their
praise be it said, both voted for the
change, and the Republican trusts
that the people will be permitted to
vote upon the question. The result
of such vote is not a problem it
will be in favor of Sedalia by a large

sHEEHAN'S FRIENDS WILL FIGHT.
Sheehan's friends friends say they will
raise money to fight the case before the
courts. Sheehan. il is said tonight, will
take steps at once to get his wife from her
parents, as there is but little doubt
that the girl is kepet in restraint by
them.
A friend of Sheehan said to-day that
the hero Of the romantic Howe marriage
was In love with another young woman
for four or five years, and was at that time
engaged to her. She would not marry
him, however, and he made an attempt to
commit suicide by jumping into Mill
river. He was prevented from doing so
by some of his friends who happened to be
with him at the time. Finally, alter his
acquaintance with Miss Howe, the friends
of Sheehan alleged. she induced him to
leave the other young lady, and thus
broke of all intimacy with her.

shock as it will take some time to recover

affair is not confined locally, either, as
Miss Howe was the belle of many ball

SPRINGFIELD SPEAKS.

The Springfield Herald has this to
say of the capital removal question
some OF the most extensively signed
petitions we have seen in many day,
was shown us yesterday. 1t was adj
dressed to the peoples representatives
at Jefferson City, especially those who
Immediately represent this city and
county, asking them to submit the
concurrent resolution concerning the
removal of the capital, to the voters
of the state.
The Herald has heretofore stated
that representatives from this part of
the state would fairly represent their
constituents by voting for the resolu-
ton. 1t is in no sense a party question,
but one which concerns all the people
alike, and in which all have an equal
interest. The country as well as the
towns and cities, the farmer and me-
chanic, as we'll as the professional and
business man.
1t may be said, and admitted, that
the present generation will not be SO
greatly benefited by the removal, vet
even they will probably be benefited
more than they think, but it is the
duty as well as the province of the
legislator to regard the future as well
as the present, in all those matters,
especially, which, when done, are
difficult to undo, and which necessari
ly become part of the warp and
wool of the state, determining wheth
